I. The IP level of barcode scanners is different
The IP rating is one of the important safety features of electrical products, often referred to as the enclosure protection rating. This set of numbers means that the luminaire housing can ensure that the luminaire works safely in the corresponding natural environment without creating unsafe conditions to the outside world.

The former means that the barcode scanner can prevent the intrusion of solid matter or liquid from the outside, and does not cause a short circuit or fire, thereby causing an accident; the latter means that the barcode scanner can prevent electric shock and ensure the safety of the user or the unintentional person or animal. There are many factors affecting electrical safety in the natural environment, such as shock vibration, corrosion, explosion, temperature difference, etc., but the most common are: solid objects: people, animals, tools and dust; liquid: rain, water spray and water infiltration .

The industrial environment is relatively harsh compared to the commercial super environment. During the use of the barcode scanner, it is likely to encounter liquid intrusion, severe impact vibration, and a large amount of dust. Therefore, industrial barcode scanners usually have an industrial rating to determine the stability and reliability of the barcode scanner. No one wants to buy a barcode scanner and it will fail all day, delaying normal production.

On the contrary, the requirements of the supermarket environment for the IP level of the barcode scanner are greatly reduced.

II. The scanning performance of barcode scanners is different
The environment for industrial applications is complex. Sometimes it is necessary to scan the bar code under strong light. Sometimes it must be operated outdoors. Sometimes it is necessary to scan the bar code from a distance. Sometimes it is necessary to scan the bar code for density comparison. These various factors cause that the ordinary scanner can't meet the special requirements of collecting barcodes in industrial environments. The most common barcode of commercial super environment is nothing more than EAN-13 code. Many product barcodes are printed. The barcode quality is very good. It is easy to scan. There are many types of barcode scanners, but no matter which sorting scanner, it generally can be scanned.

III. The price of the barcode scanner is different
Industrial barcode scanners are generally resistant to falling, dust, and water, so the price is high. Commercial barcode scanners also have a certain IP rating, but for cost considerations, the industry rating is generally low. You can't take the barcode scanners used in supermarkets to maliciously drop them, or go to soak in water, so the price of commercial scanners is relatively low.

Although industrial barcode scanners and commercial barcode scanners are different, the ultimate goal is to better scan the barcode. Only different barcode scanners have been used for different usage environments. Then it introduces another interesting question: If the commercial barcode scanner can't scan the barcode, it can be scanned with the industrial scanner. The answer is no. There are many factors that can't be scanned.

IV. how to choose when purchasing
1. For the bar code reading of ordinary supermarkets, warehouses and production lines, economical and durable laser scanners can be selected.
2. Some places where the use of the environment is special, such as large dust, easy to corrode, large temperature difference and other users are difficult to handle lightly, you have to choose a higher-level industrial scanner.
